Max quoth I will happily contribute to a thread marking such an auspicious anniversary, but CapK tends to be up later than I and may well be posting here in the wee smalls of Thursday March 15, so the honour of starting will likely fall to him. This is also apt as his contribution will be of more skill and moment than mine could ever be.Two points: 1. Your last sentence is utter crap, even though this remark may look as if it proves your point! 2. You've been around a lot longer than me, and to you the honour should fall. Go for it - I may post second!

TOYOTA!! I was hoping that my effort at self-effacement would excuse me the arduous effort needed to come up with something worthy. You just won't let this lazy slob get away with it, will you CapK? If you don't hear much from me in the next 12 days, know that I'm trying to compose something more significant than "happy oneth"

May I second the proposal that Max Quordlepleen is the fit and proper person to commence this Anniversary Madrigal? His constant flow of zany humour; his plethora of quotations, apt and inept, from such a bedazzling variety of sources ancient and modern; his partnership with a dyslexic keyboard; and the immense service he has done to us all by providing a repository for all of our memorabilia: for all of these and more, I believe he has shown himself to be admirably suited to the important and delicate task proposed. I would like to add that this proposal should in no manner be considered to detract from the value and enjoyment provided by Mr Quordlepleen's illustrious compatriot, from whose posts we all enjoy the Capital Fruit. Madam Chair, ladies and gentlemen, I submit this recomendation for your consideration. (Turns and salutes the large poster of Anu hanging at the back of the stage and returns to his seat in the body of the hall)

Yes you may. (oops, was that a rhetorical question??) And I'll third or fourth or whatever it takes to finish the debate in record time!

Not so! It is simply that the dubious detritus under the keys has, under the influence of all that EMR, coalesced into primitive, but malevolent, lifeforms, lifeforms dedicated to making my typing seem slydexic. Stanley Miller would be proud.

Sorry all, you can second, third fourth ... nth all you like. Max it is. My unilateral decision, completely in keeping with the form of autocratic nanny government to which all kiwis and Kiwis have become used in the past 15 months! Max, you have the floor – and 12 days to polish the toyota before giving us the full benefit (sic) of your first inaugural birthday oration. I suggest that you get the toyota down pat!

I'll post from Bangalore (IST). Will I be the fourth one? After Oz, NZ, Indonesia, India ... then the Uk or maybe Israel?
Is that the way it will go?
It would have been good to have William then the thread would have started with the rising sun.

I sure am glad Jo (aka jmh) has agreed to be Madam Chairman! I still shrink from the idea of too much structure in the Happy Birthday thread but will go with the majority. Now, let me get this straight. Does this mean I (GMT -5) have to post before Jackie does? (GMT-6) . And Jackie, of course you are the only one to inform Anu of this initiative. After all, according to some theorists out there, you are he. (turning, similarly saluting the poster of Garg on the back wall, and returning to my seat in the back row)
